Transcriptional response of mar, sox and rob regulon against concentration gradient carbapenem stress within Escherichia coli isolated from hospital acquired infection.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The present study was carried out to investigate the transcriptional response of marA (Multiple antibiotic resistance A gene), soxS (Superoxide S gene) and rob (Right-origin-binding gene) under carbapenem stress.

Results

12 isolates were found over-expressing AcrAB-TolC efflux pump system and showed reduced expression of OmpF (Outer membrane porin) gene were selected for further study. Among them, over expression of marA and rob was observed in 7 isolates. Increasing pattern of expression of marA and rob against meropenem was observed. The clones of marA and rob showed reduced susceptibility towards carbapenems.

Role of the mar-sox-rob regulon in regulating outer membrane porin expression.

Project description:Multiple factors control the expression of the outer membrane porins OmpF and OmpC in Escherichia coli. In this work, we investigated the role of the mar-sox-rob regulon in regulating outer membrane porin expression in response to salicylate. We provide both genetic and physiological evidence that MarA and Rob can independently activate micF transcription in response to salicylate, leading to reduced OmpF expression. MarA was also found to repress OmpF expression through a MicF-independent pathway. In the case of OmpC, we found that its transcription was moderately increased in response to salicylate. However, this increase was independent of MarA and Rob. Finally, we found that the reduction in OmpF expression in a tolC mutant is due primarily to Rob. Collectively, this work further clarifies the coordinated role of MarA and Rob in regulating the expression of the outer membrane porins.

Transcriptional response of OmpC and OmpF in Escherichia coli against differential gradient of carbapenem stress.

Project description:ObjectiveThis study was designed to investigate the transcriptional response of OmpF and OmpC along with an antisense RNA, MicF under concentration gradient carbapenem exposure.ResultAn elevation in the expression of OmpF gene under concentration gradient imipenem stress from a particular concentration was observed. For OmpC gene a significant decrease in the expression was noticed under concentration gradient imipenem and meropenem stress. The study showed reduction in the expression of OmpC gene against imipenem and meropenem possibly preventing the entry of carbapenem antibiotic inside the cell indicating a possible role in carbapenem resistance.

Differential expression of E.coli mar/rob/soxS triple mutant and wild type in a mouse model of pyelonephritis

Project description:Mutation of marA, rob, and soxS causes a clinical strain of E.coli to be attenuated at d3 post-infection in a mouse model of pyelonephritis, here we extract RNA at d2 post infection to analyze transcriptional differences between the two strains. In order to purify enough bacterial RNA to perform microarray, we chose a time point (day 2 post-infection) just before the triple mutant begins to decrease in bacterial load. Mouse kidneys were extracted, homogonized, and samples were pooled in RNALater (Ambion) before extraction and analysis of the transcriptomes

Microfluidic quadrupole and floating concentration gradient.

Project description:The concept of fluidic multipoles, in analogy to electrostatics, has long been known as a particular class of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation in potential flows; however, experimental observations of fluidic multipoles and of their characteristics have not been reported yet. Here we present a two-dimensional microfluidic quadrupole and a theoretical analysis consistent with the experimental observations. The microfluidic quadrupole was formed by simultaneously injecting and aspirating fluids from two pairs of opposing apertures in a narrow gap formed between a microfluidic probe and a substrate. A stagnation point was formed at the centre of the microfluidic quadrupole, and its position could be rapidly adjusted hydrodynamically. Following the injection of a solute through one of the poles, a stationary, tunable, and movable-that is, 'floating'-concentration gradient was formed at the stagnation point. Our results lay the foundation for future combined experimental and theoretical exploration of microfluidic planar multipoles including convective-diffusive phenomena.

Klebsiella grimontii, a New Species Acquired Carbapenem Resistance.

Project description:Klebsiella grimontii is a newly identified species closely related to Klebsiella oxytoca, but carbapenem resistance was not identified in the species before. We found a carbapenem-resistant K. oxytoca-like clinical strain, WCHKG020121. The strain was subjected to whole genome sequencing using Illumina HiSeq X10. The precise species identification was established based on average nucleotide identity (ANI) and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization (isDDH) between strain WCHKG020121 and type strains of Klebsiella species. Antimicrobial resistance genes were identified from the genome sequence. The sequence of the bla KPC-2-carrying plasmid was completed using PCR and Sanger sequencing. Conjugation experiments were performed to obtain the plasmid carrying bla KPC-2. All K. grimontii genomes were retrieved from GenBank and were analyzed for antimicrobial resistance genes. Strain WCHKG020121 was resistant to imipenem and meropenem (MIC for both, 32 ?g/ml) but was susceptible to colistin (1 ?g/ml). Strain WCHKG020121 was initially identified as K. oxytoca using Vitek II but it actually belongs to K. grimontii as it had a 98.81% ANI and 83.4% isDDH value with K. grimontii type strain. Strain WCHKG020121 had bla KPC-2; by contrast, none of other K. grimontii genomes carry any known carbapenemase genes. bla KPC-2 was carried by a 95,734-bp plasmid, designated pKPC2_020121, which contained two different FII(Y) replicons. pKPC2_020121 was closest (93% coverage, 99% identity) to bla KPC-2-carrying plasmids from Enterobacter hormaechei recovered in 2014 at the same hospital. pKPC2_020121 was not self-transmissible, which could be explained by the absence of a conjugation essential gene, traY. In conclusion, we reported the first K. grimontii strain that produced the KPC carbapenemase. Carbapenem resistant K. grimontii may represent a new threat.

Alternative splicing outcomes across an RNA-binding protein concentration gradient

Project description:Alternative splicing (AS) is a dynamic RNA processing step that produces multiple RNA isoforms from a single pre-mRNA transcript and contributes to the complexity of the cellular transcriptome and proteome. This process is regulated through a network of cis-regulatory sequence elements and trans-acting factors, most-notably RNA binding proteins (RBPs). The muscleblind-like (MBNL) and RNA binding fox-1 homolog (RBFOX) are two well characterized families of RBPs that regulate fetal to adult AS transitions critical for proper muscle, heart, and central nervous system development. To better understand how the concentration of these RBPs influences AS transcriptome wide, we engineered an MBNL1 and RBFOX1 inducible HEK-293 cell line. We found that induction of exogenous RBFOX1 modulated AS outcomes, despite significant levels of endogenous RBFOX1 and RBFOX2 expression. We characterized AS outcomes by RNAseq following dose-dependent MBNL1 induction to generate transcriptome wide dose-response curves of skipped exon events. Analysis of 43 validated splicing events by RT-PCR revealed a spectrum of dose-response splicing curves with a 2-fold range for EC50 values and slope values ranging from 4 to 10. Analysis of this data suggests that exclusion events, when compared to inclusion events, regulated by MBNL1, may require higher protein concentrations to regulate, and that multiple arrangements of YGCY motifs produce similar splicing outcomes. Together these data suggest that rather than a simple association between the configuration of RBP binding sites and a specific splicing outcome, that a complex network governs both AS inclusion and exclusion events that operates in an RBP dose-dependent manner.

A Novel Butanol Tolerance-Promoting Function of the Transcription Factor Rob in Escherichia coli.

Project description:Producing high concentrations of biobutanol is challenging, primarily because of the toxicity of butanol toward cells. In our previous study, several butanol tolerance-promoting genes were identified from butanol-tolerant Escherichia coli mutants and inactivation of the transcriptional regulator factor Rob was shown to improve butanol tolerance. Here, the butanol tolerance characteristics and mechanism regulated by inactivated Rob are investigated. Comparative transcriptome analysis of strain DTrob, with a truncated rob in the genome, and the control BW25113 revealed 285 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) to be associated with butanol tolerance and categorized as having transport, localization, and oxidoreductase activities. Expression of 25 DEGs representing different functional categories was analyzed by quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) to assess the reliability of the RNA-Seq data, and 92% of the genes showed the same expression trend. Based on functional complementation experiments of key DEGs, deletions of glgS and yibT increased the butanol tolerance of E. coli, whereas overexpression of fadB resulted in increased cell density and a slight increase in butanol tolerance. A metabolic network analysis of these DEGs revealed that six genes (fadA, fadB, fadD, fadL, poxB, and acs) associated with acetyl-CoA production were significantly upregulated in DTrob, suggesting that Rob inactivation might enhance butanol tolerance by increasing acetyl-CoA. Interestingly, DTrob produced more acetate in response to butanol stress than the wild-type strain, resulting in the upregulation expression of some genes involved in acetate metabolism. Altogether, the results of this study reveal the mechanism underlying increased butanol tolerance in E. coli regulated by Rob inactivation.

Role of a Concentration Gradient in Malaria Drug Resistance Evolution: A Combined within- and between-Hosts Modelling Approach.

Project description:Resistance to antimalarial drugs is currently a growing public health problem, resulting in more cases with treatment failure. Although previous studies suggested that a concentration gradient facilitates the antibiotic resistance evolution in bacteria, no attempt has been made to investigate the roles of a concentration gradient in malaria drug resistance. Unlike the person-to-person mode of transmission of bacteria, the malaria parasites need to switch back and forth between the human and mosquito hosts to complete the life cycle and to spread the resistant alleles. Here we developed a stochastic combined within- and between-hosts evolutionary dynamics model specific to malaria parasites in order to investigate the influence of an antimalarial concentration gradient on the evolutionary dynamics of malaria drug resistance. Every stage of malaria development in both human and mosquito hosts are individually modelled using the tau-leaping algorithm. We found that the concentration gradient can accelerate antimalarial resistance evolution. The gain in resistance evolution was improved by the increase in the parasite mutation rate and the mosquito biting rate. In addition, even though the rate of resistance evolution is not sensitive to the changes in parasite reduction ratios (PRRs) of antimalarial drugs, the probability of finding the antimalarial drug resistant parasites decreases when the PRR increases.
